Match stats
Five of the last seven games played at King Power stadium between these two sides has ended in a draw, with both sides sharing a win apiece.
Leicester and Leeds have met on five occasions in the League Cup, with Leeds' last visit to Leicester in the competition coming in October 2001 - winning 6-0 at Filbert Street thanks to a Robbie Keane hat-trick.
In fact, that defeat remains Leicester's big home loss in the competition, and their biggest post-war defeat at home in any competition.
However, that win against Leicester was the last time on penalties against Burnley in the last round.
Leicester themselves beat Leeds on penalties after a 0-0 draw at home en route to their trophy win against Tranmere in 2000.
Since winning the trophy in 2000, the Foxes have only reached the quarter-finals on one occasion, beating Fulham 4-3 in a fourth round thriller in October 2013.
Leicester have been eliminated from each of their last two home League Cup ties against lower league opposition - a 0-1 loss against Shrewsbury in August 2014 and 2-4 loss against Burton in August 2012.
Islam Slimani has found the net in both of his League Cup appearances this season, bagging brace against Sheffield United in the second round.
So there you go, Not an easy tie but we're Leeds we don't do easy
Another good performance like Saturdays could see us progress but it'll be tough, I reckon we'll nick it with a 1-2 scoreline.............Saiz getting the 1st and Viera nicking the winner in the 88th minute
Over to You........................Scorers, Predictions etc..........................................................

Defo, Kelechi iheanacho was beast on football manager a few years ago always knew he would be class. Grey has always looked a player and Amartey is just what we need in our team.

That was the best Amarty has played for us in my opinion, him and Chillwell were excellent as was Ichy. You looked decent first half but the gulf in class showed 2nd half.

Some poor performers there for Leeds that shouldn't make the first team match day squad again.

Thought we were the better team at the start, but they grew into it. Not helped by strange substitutions. Don't think anyone really played badly for us, but Cibicki was non-existant and Anita couldn't hand Gray or Mahrez.

That was our second string team against their first team.
Really not affected by this. Back onto to what matters and two huge home games!

Poor performance Imo. The game was there for the taking at 1-0 but we didn't want it enough. Some non existant performances also. Looking forward to Friday though.

My bad, but most looked like your team from the last season or two, with 4/5 of your first 11 playing a part last night in Mahrez etc. Against a miss match of players with virtually no championship games behind some of them.
Still only bothered about league games personally
